Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary / 索拉雅

Soraya Esfandiary-Bakhtiary / 索拉雅 appears in 77.她是自由的野狗，她是法拉奇 through Oriana Fallaci’s interview with the young queen of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The episode says Soraya lived in a palace but seemed tired of that life, and that questions around her childlessness had become a dynastic problem.

The source uses Soraya as a gendered-power case. Even royal status does not free her from reproductive expectation; her body and fertility become political instruments. That makes her a source example for Female Self-Possession under constraint and for the broader problem of Protection As Control when status, family, and state power define women’s roles.
